is a G2 a good intake? i have never heard of it and someone is offering me one......

 

if you are still running the stock air box then take it. basically a cai is a cai is a cai.
i've never heard anything bad about the g2...

 

I've heard good things about it from those that have had it, it will offer an improvement over your restrictive stock box.

 

its just like stock and they suck get a real cai

 

anyone have pics?

 

 

This was one of the first aftermarket induction parts to come out for the 4th gen f-body way back when.

I dont see how this is much of an improvement over stock. It is nothing more than a slightly opened up tube compared to the factory tube and it does not even relocate the air filter down in the hole.

Not worth it IMHO

 

I have one since '03, I noticed a difference, plus it keeps the stock look...

 

and the stock hp

 

get a moroso or lingenfelter. those are the cheapest ones around. They are all pretty much the same, except for that crappy g2 one.

 

I've had mine since '95. Later I tried a Moroso to see if there was any difference in grams per second flow, measured by my Scanmaster. They both flowed the same. The Moroso's air was about 15* cooler in city driving during the summer. I modified the stock lid that holds the filter in by cutting out the whole face. This way the complete filter area is exposed. It does sit about a 1/3 of the way into the hole where the Moroso filter would be. My main reason for keeping it over the Moroso is, I don't have to take apart my front end to get to the filter.
Everybody putting the G2 down, of course you've all tried it correct?

 

There is no disputing the G2 was one of the first CAI out for the LT1.

If it was the supperior product then MTI, Callaway, Moroso, K&N, Lingenfelter, Arizona Speed and Marine and SLP would have at the very least copied its design, however as we all know they did not.

I am not saying that the G2 is totaly S**T, but its design and concept certainly has not evolved over the years.
The fact that the filter is still essentaily in the engine compartment and sucking in hotter air is the main reason alone why I would steer toward one of the other CAI's listed above.

I have also seen one in person and stand by my statement that is a glorified stock tube.

I dont need to own one to draw these conclusions IMHO.

 

NOW i've heard bad things about them... LOL
I have to agree... get one that locates the air filter in the fender.
I don't think LG messes with LT1 stuff anymore.
